Proven Results

This ethylene plant had two goals: to prevent the loss of their product; and to save hundreds of thousands of dollars by early detection of hydrocarbon leaks in the water of heat exchanger / cooling towers.

Results:

1) Saved the client hundreds of thousands of dollars of lost product by early leak detection in heat exchangers.

2) At a level of 2 PPB, the client was able to take corrective action and benzene concentration began to decrease.

This chemical plant was required to measure their total sulfur in order to prevent costly damage to the system by warning of total sulfur concentrations.

Results:

1) The client was able to measure total sulfur with the series 1700 total sulfur analyzer in the catalytic bed to prevent poisoning.

2) This saved the client millions in damages to the catalytic beds.

Customer Feedback:

“Initially, measurement of the output to the catalyst was purchased but after reliable operation and costs savings were verified, analyzers were installed in the plant inlet in the middle of the process and outlet to optimize plant performance and reduce costs associated with catalyst replacement. These analyzers are extremely cost effective.”

This gas processing company needs to prevent explosions in cooling towers by measuring hydrocarbon leaks in heat exchangers.

Results:

Williams Energy faced a serious problem when a cooling tower reached LEL and exploded. They quickly contacted Analytical Systems Keco’s who provided the Model 204 hydrocarbon in water analyzer to monitor for leaks in their cooling towers.

Our analyzers are currently being installed throughout Williams Energy plants in the USA.

This client produces water FPSO sea vessels. They needed a highly customizable oil in water monitor to operate in extreme conditions with caustic sea water service. The product needed to be rugged, and able to withstand the tropical environment and corrosive components in the sample water.

This oil refinery must meet sales permit specifications of their crude oil. The client also needed a continuous, reliable and accurate measurement of the H2S content in crude oil.

Results:

1) The client was able to reliably, accurately and continuously measure H2S content level directly in the crude to meet stringent permit specifications for sales purposes using the Model 205, H2S in crude analyzer.

2) This greatly reduced client costs by eliminating the need for costly, laborious and inaccurate lab analysis which was required multiple times per day.

3) Outdated laboratory methods require grab samples which deteriorate with time and H2S escapes during sampling.
